"Most of our competitors were very poorly run," he tells Fiona Bruce, for The Money Programme.

Well, I don't think that Apple has been putting pressure on anyone except in the last 4-years, so it's very much a side story to battle with the likes of IBM. Anyway, you can't really blame Bill for not giving Apple more media coverage than it already has.

Sorry, should have said restraint of trade laws, then again, oversight is probably considered regulation as well.

With all due respect, my post is not a half-truth.1. MSFT did plead to have WordPerfect on Windows long before WordPerfect did so. Period. End of sentence.2. When WordPerfect did finally decide to get off DOS, MSFT may or may not have played dirty. That's beside the point. MSFT had a many ways to leverage Word over WordPerfect. Word also took off because they bundled it with other applications in MSFT Office at razor thin margins (not any more).I guess payback is a bitch for WordPerfect , too little too late.However, noone else plays fair either. Novell later bought the rights for WordPerfect, just to sue on the point you mention. It sounds pretty much light a lawsuit troll to me.
